Ever check out of the Colon Inn?


"A unique hotel offering guests the chance to sleep inside a giant intestine is proving easy to stomach. Curious visitors are flocking to stay at the huge realistic model of a human gut in Belgium." 

Hey, since it's brand new, I guess you could say this hotel room is in-testin'! (Via.)

Gargoyle Grossness!

Gargoyles often serve as drainage gutters on buildings. So building-barfing happens all the time in cold weather!

Mr. Toilet House!

Pretty nice house, huh? It’s located near Seoul in South Korea. But you may be wondering, “What’s so gross about it?

Well, the World Toilet Association built this to publicize the fact that over 2,000,000,000 people in the world have no toilets. And to drive the point home, this place is shaped like a toilet!
When you leave, put the lid down, please.
The Koreans had a number of names for this place. One was Mr. Toilet House

But since it's really a toilet museum, another one is Haewoojae, which means “a place of refuge to solve problems.” And since the Haewoojae has four custom bathrooms, it can host a whole lot of problem-solving. (And pooping, too!)

Gross Link-Mania!

I seem to be a little backed up *ahem* with stories, so let me offload a few right now:

—These people make hats out of meat.

—Not to be outdone, this guy designed a HOUSE out of meat...and the meat would be grown in a lab!

—People who ride this roller coaster end up eating flies.

—This is a urinal that doesn't use water. (Except for pee.)

—This guy made a fart-operated random channel TV remote control. (This guy is either insane or my hero!)

—And finally, the state of Florida sent in a hazardous material team to deal with something horrible: A five-gallon jar of rotten mayonnaise.
